Young family? Pregnant? Looking for medical insurance?

My name is Mackenzie Morgan, and I am the family health coordinator for San Juan Basin Health. In my position, I help pregnant women and children ages 0 through 20 apply for state medical insurance and connect them with various resources throughout the community.

I serve La Plata, San Juan, Dolores, Montezuma and Archuleta counties to connect our community to nearby health services.

I also schedule appointments with clients to find out whether they are eligible for state-run health insurances (CHP+ or Medicaid.) For those who are eligible to apply for these programs, I am more than happy to assist in filling out applications.

We can go over your options for primary and mental-health care in your area, along with other community resources, such as housing assistance, volunteer opportunities, or finding a school for your kids. Let me know your interests, and I will do what I can to connect you with appropriate services in the counties I serve.

If you are interested in finding affordable insurance, already insured with Medicaid or CHP+ and have questions, or want to know more about some of the assistance programs our community has to offer, call me at (970) 335-2022, email me at mmorgan@sjbhd.org, or stop by the health department at 281 Sawyer Drive, just west of the Durango Mall. I hope to meet you soon; tell your friends!
